App-V Error 04-0000041E

Event:

Starting/Running the application

Error Message / Sympthoms:

It took to long until the application was ready for interaction with the users.

The application shuts down after about 5 minutes

Potential Causes:

The application is a Java or DOS like applikation. App-V can not determine that the application is ready for User Input, because the app does not use default Windows Classes.

Potential Solutions:

In the OSD file, SUBSYSTEM VALUE has to be changed from "windows" to "console" (case sensitive).

If it is an 16-bit application, also the VM VALUE should be set from "Win32" to "Win16"
